A 3. On a recent shopping trip, you see a sale advertising 4 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of shoes for $90. Write an equation using to represent the cost of socks and y to represent the cost of shoes.
A)40x + 30y - 90
B)30x + 40y = 90
C)3x + 4y - 90
D)4x + 3y = 90

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) 4x + 3y = 90.

x = pairs of socks
y = pairs of shoes
90 = total cost of the sum of socks and shoes

Combining these with the given quantities for each variable:

4x + 3y = 90
